Oracle announced that Oracle Database 21c, the latest version of the world's leading converged database, is available on Oracle Cloud, including the Always Free tier of Oracle Autonomous Database.
"Oracle Database 21c continues our strategy of delivering the world's most powerful converged database engine," said Andrew Mendelsohn, executive vice president, database server technologies, Oracle.
"With the launch of Database 21c, Oracle has elevated its flagship database to a new level of convergence with broad support for a wide variety of data types and workloads," said Carl Olofson, Research Vice President, Data Management Software, IDC. "The 200 new built-in innovations, including immutable blockchain tables and AutoML for in-database machine learning, elevate Oracle Database 21c to a new level of functionality, eliminating the need for specialized, isolated cloud services and tools to do those jobs."
"This is a refreshing contrast for organizations that leverage the likes of AWS, which has more than a dozen different databases, each requiring customers to deal with different APIs, ETL approaches and data integration processes. Oracle Database 21c transcends the barriers of a multi, isolated, and intrinsically non-converged, database approach," said Mark Peters, Principal Analyst & Practice Director, ESG. What customers are saying about Oracle Database.
"With Oracle Blockchain Tables, the solution provides tamper-proof records that can easily integrate with other applications without requiring a complex new infrastructure. Oracle Database includes all the tools we know and new features like Oracle Blockchain Tables that we can leverage with XRing for sensible data collection."
To simplify the design and use of sharding, Oracle Database 21c includes a Sharding Advisor Tool that assesses a database schema plus its workload characteristics and then provides a sharded database design optimized for performance, scalability, and availability.
